I just put on Dunlop Mutants. I have about 500 miles on them and so far very happy. Previous tires were Michelin Pilot Road 4 GT. The rear tire let go several times when turning from an intersection, just let off the throttle, upright the bike and proceed with a faster heart rate. That would...

Mine took almost 2 weeks. It worked fine after although I had to take it apart before winter as they tucked the battery tender cable up on top of the battery. While it was apart I could see they struggled with tools, lots of scratches. The bike did not leak before and doesn't afterward so that...

I have the 2016 model and really like it. Best bike I have had for the 40 plus years I have been riding. Color is not a big deal to me, just want to ride. The black rims get abused whenever I get the tires replaced at the Yamaha dealership. Would be nice if they had non-marring tools. I get...

I installed these 1 inch blocks last weekend. It went well while on the side stand to remove everything. I used a mini-sawsall on the loops. Installing the triple tree did not go well at all until I read the valuble information on the FJR forum. Got the wife and son to help get the bike back on...
